Abstract:
Against the backdrop of increasing global economic inequality, Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), as a key variable measuring individuals’ attitudes toward intergroup inequality, plays a significant role in maintaining and exacerbating economic disparities. This paper explores the concept of SDO and its influencing factors, analyzing the impact of social status, cultural background, gender differences, and racial differences on SDO. It particularly emphasizes the role of intergroup contact in reducing SDO levels, mitigating prejudice, and promoting social equality. Research indicates that positive intergroup contact can effectively lower individuals’ SDO levels, thereby alleviating economic inequality and its negative consequences. Future studies should further investigate cross-cultural differences, situational factors, and policy interventions on SDO, providing theoretical and practical guidance for building a more equitable and harmonious society.
在全球经济不平等加剧的背景下,社会支配取向作为衡量个体对群体间不平等态度的关键变量,对经济不平等的维持与加剧具有重要影响。本文探讨了社会支配取向的概念及其影响因素,分析了社会地位、文化背景、性别差异、种族差异等对社会支配取向的影响,并重点讨论了群际接触在降低社会支配取向水平、减少偏见和促进社会平等中的作用。研究表明,积极的群际接触能够有效降低个体的社会支配取向水平,进而缓解经济不平等及其负面影响。未来的研究应进一步探讨跨文化差异、情境因素,以及政策干预对社会支配取向的影响,以期为构建更加公平和谐的社会提供理论支持和实践指导。
